最近的科学教育改革要求课程旨在支持学生通过探究构建知识。教师需要学习新的方法和内容来制定基于改革的课程。旨在解决教师学习和学生学习问题的教育课程材料是一种潜在的工具。我们的工作融入了一个大型公立学区正在进行的旨在改革科学教育的城市系统性举措。作为这项努力的一部分，开发了符合建构主义思想的科学课程材料，解决了学生学习和教师教育的国家和地方目标。三名在物理和基于项目的科学方面经验有限的中学教师使用教育课程材料制定了为期 10 周的力和运动单元。每天都会对课程进行录像，并定期对整个单元的教师进行采访。通过跨数据源的定性分析，我们发现教师使用了材料中的教育特征并从中学习。此外，解决教学内容知识的教育特征比解决教学或内容知识的教育特征使用得更频繁、更有效。我们的工作表明，教育课程可以促进改进实践所需的教师学习，并为所有教师以及参与城市改革的人员提供材料的开发。
Recent reforms in science education call for curriculum designed to support student's construction of knowledge through inquiry. Teachers need to learn new methods and content to enact reform-based curriculum. Educative curriculum material designed to address teacher learning as well as student, is one potential vehicle. Our work is embedded in an ongoing urban systemic initiative of a large public school district to reform science education. As part of this effort, science curriculum materials were developed that were consistent with constructivist ideas, addressed national and local goals for student learning and educative for teachers. Three middle- school teachers with limited experience with physics and project-based science enacted a 10 week, force and motion unit using educative curriculum materials. Classes were videotaped daily and teachers were interviewed periodically throughout the unit. Through qualitative analysis across data sources we found teachers used and learned from educative features in the materials. In addition, educative features addressing pedagogical content knowledge were used more often and more effectively than those that addressed either pedagogical or content knowledge. Our work indicates educative curriculum can facilitate teacher learning necessary for improved practice and informs development of materials for all teachers as well as those participating in urban reform.
